2015 Legacy Bulb Replacement

Though I would attached so screen shots I took of the 15' Subaru Legacy bulb replacement chart from the owners manual for everyone.

If you guys going to get LED for F/R Signal 7440 fits snugged right in the WY21W from VLEDS, as for the reverse I ordered 921 LED, until it comes I shall tell. But it should fit no problem....

But your 7440's need a relay because they blink too fast.

Doing a google search today I came across a company called Prolightz who has a kit for the 2015 Legacy just in case anyone was interested. http://www.prolightz.com/index.php/led/led-kits/10-15-legacy-outback.html

This says the fog lights on non steerin responsive fogs are H16. I've seen conflicting info within this forum. Can anyone who has put led fogs in on a premium model with fogs verify this? Thanks

I believe there is H11 and H16...same bulb type...different wattage.

As securityguy stated. Just different wattage. Some say don't use the H11 55W in H16 housing cause of the extra heat. Not sure about that. I went with 1200Lumen LEDs in the Fog. Not happy. Going to upgrade the fog to H11 LED Headlight equivalent.

 

btw. If you want to try the fitting for yourself, you can reach the fog light on the passenger side from engine compartment. You can swap the low beam which is H11.

If you use LED bulbs in the fog housings, heat is not an issue. You cannot place a HALOGEN 55W into a fog housing or you will burn it up.

securityguy, what bulbs came originally in your fogs ? What do you have installed in them now ?

 

On another thread:http://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php/fog-light-kit-weekend-install-project-230637p3.html. Post #41, you say you're running 55W, which would suggest halogen bulb.

 

I know there's 2 different part numbers for the fog light housing one for SRL and w\o. Don't know if the actually material is different for the different the heat factors.

I had OEM H16 halogen and replaced with H11 LED (55W equivalent)

Would you share brand\model ? I'm unhappy with the LEDs I put in. Looking for another set, when I do the Lows. But the fogs are reflectors vs. projectors some I'm concerned on getting the right ones. Thanks.

Did the passively cooled LEDs on http://www.xenondepot.com

I'll have my review for these up tomorrow.

For that much, better off upgrade to Morimoto XB Type T foglight, brighter and wider much more solid quality vs stock fog.

Are you recommending the Morimoto fog light over the Xenon Depot fog light? I'm confused

The XD bulbs work great in the fogs. That's exactly what I did and extremely happy. No reason to upgrade to the Motos IMPO.

Drop in bulbs work pretty well in our fog lights, but projector-style ones really boost the performance.

 

I have these from Diode Dynamics. Basically the same as Morimotos. http://www.diodedynamics.com/store/catalog/product/view/id/22211/s/luxeon-led-fog-lamps-type-b/category/1446/

 

Comparing drop in bulb vs. new housing, new housing is so much better. It does cost more and a little more work to install but definitely worth it.

Any wire cutting involved with this? Do you have to drop the bumper to do this install? I think I found the Morimotos.

Im really new to headlight stuff and don't want to be doing retrofitting that requires cutting up OEM parts.

If you ever look at something that makes you cut wires...stay FAR...FAR AWAY! If it's not plug-n-play than don't buy it!

Definitely!!!

 

I don't doubt Steve as a vendor at all. He seems to be very active on the forum. I just see that the LED projector is a better option because the factory fog light housing isn't designed for LED's. That's why I'm considering the other brands. Plus Morimoto's carry a similar warranty and bulb quality. Just keeping my options open. I want this to be one of those do it once and be done jobs

Nope, simply remove old fogs with 1 screw and 1 plastic clip, mount new ones, plug into existing harness. Dropping the bumper isn't necessary, there's an access door on either side to get to the fog lights, just jack up the front end or drive up on ramps to make it easier.

Couldn't agree more, I will never cut into the wiring harness of a $30k car let alone any car, it's just asking for trouble and makes it impossible to revert later down the road. Any mod I do that isn't plug n play I buy the proper connectors off of Amazon for a few bucks and cut into those. If I mess something up it's a few dollars wasted versus a jacked up wiring harness.

Here's what it looks like mounted. I can get pics of the beam pattern if you want but it's pretty much like any other projector light, sharp cutoff and super wide.

Only reason I removed my front end was I had to mount relays and run wires to get them to run as DRLs, which I'd only recommend doing if you have some electrical knowledge and like 12 hours to spend on it lol.

So basically what I'm gathering from this is that the Moriomoto's are the way to go?

Get the new fog light housing kit as well instead of just installing LED bulbs?

 

I just installed my OLM Gen 2 HP 6000k LED low beam headlight bulbs from Subispeed courtesy of robstunner. And I would like to do the 6000k LED Fog's as well but I want to make sure I'm going with the right product.

 

Thanks in advance guys!!!

You fit these in the low beams? I see on their website is says for high beams.

Yeah I did, such an easy install and they are amazing at night and perfect cut off and everything. Im very very happy with them.
